Lisa,
The reason IE screws up is because it interprets elements differently.
Read this article:

ox_model/
I use suggestion 3, conditional comments for all websites that I create now.
You can tweak the CSS for each version of IE, since they all suck in
different ways.
I will be interested to hear why others use UL for menus. I do it because it
is a convenient way to style a group of the same elements without having to
use a separate div for each element.

Subject: [thelist] css menu problem
Hi,
Sorry to post here, but have tried sending to the css-discuss list and its
not getting through.
I'm a newbie when it comes to css and positioning.
I have two problems that need looking at if anyone can help.
They both concern the menu bar.
Page is here: http://www.koolfish.com/test/index.html
Css is here: http://www.koolfish.com/test/css/mainstyles.css
1. In IE there is a gap between the red nav bar div and the gold
donations div which I can not seem to eliminate.
2. Is it possible to align the the red menu items to the right in the
red menu bar and if so how do I do that?
On a side note,
Am I correct in building the menu as a <ul> ?
Should my donations link be in its own <ul> or is that fine just to leave as
text?
Why do you use a list for a menu when it's a menu and not a list?
Thanks in advance.
Lisa
